‘Claud’ The RB 182

[Mr Underhill]

Rings Andy at Engine Dynamics shortly after returning from the ring…

 

[Krarl]

You've not even put a diff in it yet...👀

 

[Advikaz]

Box oil done with redline.

Power flexed the dog bone. All good.

Again, drives better. It’s nice that everything I’ve done so far has improved the car noticeably

Note on the last pic the bolt is the wrong way round. I put it back in the way it came out. A bit of f**king around later and it occurred to me it was wrong so I turned it around. Doesn’t bang on the shift rod anymore either.

That’s on the list!

Good morning from Germany

Cracking shot. Is it behaving itself?

Spot on so far mate.

Can confirm it’s pretty much a dead heat against the i20N in a straight line when he’s not running his tuning box. Clio is a bit quicker at the very top end surprisingly

I suspected it would be close. It’s why I never went for one after my i30N. Clio is the better all round car imo. Wish I was back over there. Maybe next year.

Ps. There’s a PMS 240 engine for sale on faceache 😉

Stop it you 😘

The photographer captured a bit of rub a dub dub

 

[Advikaz]

togs taking forever to send these over.

But some cool pics

 

[Advikaz]

Epic trip!

Clio was mostly faultless. Bar a knackered exhaust mount, it has not skipped a beat.

 

[Brigsy]

Looks like an epic trip. Splitter so close to destruction on karussell!

 

[Andy P]

Looks like a good trip. Seen it in the background of one of Misha’s videos last night as well as the Lotus & i20N.

Oh really??

We did meet up with old Misha as it goes. He wanted to talk shop on my pals charged vx220

 

[Andy P]

About six minutes in

Car is looking fantastic.

Can I ask where you got the rear calipers from? I'm looking to replace mine this year.

Bit of trial and error going on here

Is the plan to make the Renault badge interchangeable?

It would be cool if it was as a lot of wheel refurb centres can paint the centre caps separately.

I think that might be the biggest challenge.

Maybe ….

Just trying to make the things fit first !

Anyone know if this wire on the alternator is important. Noticed it’s not doing wire stuff anymore today.

Car seems fine….

 

[Advikaz]

@TheBandit assuming by the reaction… not good ? 😂😂😂

 

[Krarl]

Signal wire to the dash light

Is it still charging?😬🤣

Stick a multimeter on the battery terminals and see if it's getting 13-14v

Is that cable just to work a dash light then ?

It's the exciter/signal wire too iirc

Don't know the ins and outs of it but I'm sure it just determines whether it charges or not

Suppose I better get the auto electrician out then 😂

 

[JamesBryan]

Get a plug with a tail of wire off a breaker and crimp/seal butt connector it back on.

 

[Krarl]

Aye just do that. I might even have a plug I can cut off of an old loom for you

 

[TheBandit]

@Advikaz I have no idea, luckily others do

I have a bunch of other wires that are on their last legs though 😅

Similar to @Crayola I have a second hand loom to salvage. For other plugs I am depinning and trying to find replacement terminals. More so for future proofing if possible

Be amazing if you do shagger

That wire is awfully brittle !

I’ve got thicker, more robust pubes ffs

I'd de-pin and just run some similar gauge PTFE wire in there personally. All breaker looms are the same age now.

Valid. I may get an auto leccy out to do a job on her

I'll dog one out tomorrow and let you know if I've got one mate
